Radleigh Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Thats going to be rather large with the rotors on! Unusual subject, but lovely at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Could be the master for the 1/72nd kit,before all the fancy CAD stuff kit masters were often a lot bigger than the final kit scale. Paul Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin @ Freightdog Models Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) That looks like a master that would be pantographed down, might be the 1/72 one (so details can be made larger then reduced on final model). Facinating to see its wood like the old days, in the age of CAD thats quite refreshing !

Julien Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 As they already have a 1/72 kit I dont think these will be for one of them, hopefully is 1.48 Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty_hopkirk Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) As they already have a 1/72 kit I dont think these will be for one of them, hopefully is 1.48Julien I was going to say the very same. SH make a 1/48 one, so it might be a 32 scale kit, its a surprisingly small model even in 48 so it wouldn't be outrageously large in 32. Once the CAD masters are complete it literally a press of a button to output at any given scale. Or simply they have done an oversized model to assist with defect spotting Whatever scale it turns out to be, I hope they consider a Sabena liveried machine with the wheel spats. I think these were primarly used to ferry folk around for Expo 58. Marty... Edited February 1, 2012 by marty_hopkirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Ogilvie Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) As what looks like the 1:72 scale parts are displayed at the back I strongly suspect those patterns are just to add interest to the display (is the 1:72 kit being re-released?) I'd be very surprised if a company like Italeri is still using carved larger scale masters rather than CAD in this day and age? When was the 1:72 kit first released? I'm with Paul on this one Iain Edited February 1, 2012 by Iain (32SIG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1/72 kit was re-issued last year in an Artic scheme. One can just glimpse part of a finished example in the RHS of the image. I'd be very surprised if a company like Italeri is still using carved larger scale masters rather than CAD in this day and age? Curious isn't it. you well could be right about the interest thing. When was the 1:72 kit first released? Enough for Revell to have reboxed it a few years ago, but not long enough I would have thought for a wooden master using pantograph techniques. Marty...

markjames68 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 The masters you show are double size , either 1/32 or 1/24, the kit will be 1/48 at biggest , possibly 1/72 If u look at the pics from your link you can see the kits proper steel tooling in the background, compare that to the 1/48 Hercules and drones and you can see the finished thing is quite small... mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Ogilvie Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 And the stand celebrates 50 years of the company... I'll wager it's the masters that were used for the 1:72 kit. Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onosendai Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 And the stand celebrates 50 years of the company...I'll wager it's the masters that were used for the 1:72 kit. Iain correct, it's a piece of history exposed for the commemoration of fifty years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I was getting my hopes up for 32nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panoz Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 When was the 1:72 kit first released? In 1998 in both Italeri (US Army Vietnam/USAF Arctic Rescue) and Revell Germany (Heeresflieger/Luftwaffe) boxes. Hard to believe it was all those years ago.
